~I never leave home w/out my iPod, it makes the morning commute on the bus to my office so much easier to take...~

I hear you, Craig. I too couldn't do so much walking to and from the office without it. I find it frustrating in the Subway though because I cannot scream my lungs out. But when I walk, nobody hears me and it's perfect!

Thanks for the comments you 2.

~I am always hesitant to snap images while on public transport here in Pittsburgh, PA/USA...just can;t bring myself to snap w/out the subject's knowledge of me doing so, but I have been tempted many times...also, not sure if it is allowed, photography that is, on the buses and such here in PGH. If I may ask, do you tell filks afterwards that you snapped their image and if was ok w/ them, providing contact info if they'd like a copy of the frame?~

Hmm, I know exactly what you mean. I am always tempted to engage in a conversation, but I start by feeling like a coward for not having asked for their permission in first place. So I don't. I can't just steal their image and try to make it right afterwards.

So if I "steal" a picture like this one I don't say anything, but if I ask them beforehand, yes, I give them my card and tell them they'll more than likely be online.

great portrait, Irina, even if you did have to steal it. ;) ... I like the colors (all very muted) and soft background, without having lots of grain, this still has a feeling of grittiness. very nice!

Forget ninja moves, the hands on the iPod are the cool scenes these days.

You know if you went up to someone and said "I just couldn't resist stealing something form you" and then explained, they'd probably be cool about it... or maybe they wouldn't :-/

irina, this shot is gorgeous. i always have a problem with people wearing their ipods on the subway though, perhaps because i love to engage strangers in conversation and ipods make that so much harder. :o)

Irina Souiki says:

thanks everyone. I like it too, especially for the hands' sharpness, given the fact that the subway was moving and I did not used a flash.

mary jane : I'd fear the ninja hands :-)

vasta : hmm, interesting. which line are you travelling on? because I'm always eager to start a conversation as well, but subway seems the last place where this would be possible. people seem so... absorbed, tired or stoned that I rarely see someone awake enough to engage in a few words. The bus is always good though, and I always get to talk to people. Must be the outside world that makes a whole lot of difference.

on the green line from st. george to kipling every monday-thursday, though the time varies from day to day. i'd be more than willing to strike up a convo. i look just like my icon, so it's not hard to spot me. :o)

oh, and you're right, the bus is much better, though there are the few moments of connection to be had on the subway as well.

Love the photo. It could definitely be an ad for Apple. I think I'm the last person on the planet who doesn't have one. I keep getting so close to pulling the trigger, but the money ends up being spent on camera gear.

sigh.
